BOOK DESCRIPTION:
What is it with Catholic girls anyway? In Christina
Bartolomeo's Cupid and Diana, Diana Campanella, a decidedly '90s woman with
a penchant for early-'50s fashion, can't help but wonder if there isn't more
to life. True, making the switch from her dull government job to ownership
of a vintage clothing shop has been a personal victory. But the shop is
about to go the way of the corset, and Diana's bank balance is dangerously
low. Meanwhile, acting as referee between her head-butting sisters (a
professional lingerie model in one corner, a perfect Catholic housewife in
the other) is intolerable at best. And lawyer-fiancé Philip--handsome,
well-dressed, a veritable Clark Kent with a bankroll--provides Diana with
stability, security, and a notable shortage of profound passion.
Enter one Harry Sandburg, a displaced New York lawyer with a five o'clock
shadow and a rumpled suit to match: "He had the sort of sweet and sad smile
some Jewish guys have. It radiated a wry self-deprecation in which there was
nothing humble or cringing." Harry is witty, wise, and utterly endearing. To
make matters worse, their fervent lovemaking is enough to peel paint from
the walls--a fact Diana learns one sweltering evening after a little too
much Chianti and meatballs. Profound passion? Yes. But Harry's staying power
is questionable, and Diana isn't getting any younger. Amidst mounds of
manicotti and family feuds, vintage Roxbury suits and dreary Washington,
D.C., political events, Diana struggles to choose between what she should do
and what she truly wants. Funny, warm, sophisticated, and intelligent,
Bartolomeo's debut is a keen romantic comedy packed with both fictional and
fashionable delights.
